Is it possible to fit climate controll to one without on a preface omega if it has aircon?
-
anything is possible mate but depends on how much work you want to do
i would think in this case far to much involved
need loads and loads of mods to be worth the effort
just stick with what you have or change cars
-
That's a fast reply!thanks mate won't bother!just wondered if wiring was there or not.
-
The wiring is not the problem, you need climate control unit, climate condenser, hoses, valves etc.
Simply too big a job
-
I looked into it once on a VW, thinking that if aircon was already there, then half the work had already been done -
how wrong I was.
Major job for that one and probably similar for the Omega. I reckoned in the end that it was probably easier to retro fit to a vehicle without air, than to try and modify / refit climate to one that had a standard version of air.

Not worth the bother either, IMHO. You have to fiddle with the climate control just as much to stay comfortable - IME. Maybe it's me? ::)

I guess ... :)
Mine is set at 23, hers at 25, and hardly ever gets touched. Might have to put a quick blast of demist first thing, but other than that it does what it's supposed to .. IMHO .. :)

I agree absolutely.

My 1994 CD with Tonka Toy control knobs required very little fiddling to get comfortable.
My 2003 Elite with climate is a pain. Each time the outside temperature changes the climate control moves the inside temperature the other way. When it's cold outside I boil, when it's hot outside I freeze. When the sun hits the solar sensor it gets colder still.
The temperature settings are in one degree steps and I often find that one setting (say 20) blows hot and a lower setting (19) blows cold when I just want a neutral supply of air.
